    Get him of the chew. Work him to death on defense. (If only we had the right to force him to do it!)
  2. moonslav59
    Let’s compare our offense to our defense: On offense, we are first in BAbip at .307 but it’s very close. We earned much of that by also being 6th in hard hit % at 33.3% (0.2 from 3rd) and 10th in LD% at 21.1% (0.1 from 8th best). Now, the defense: We are 9th in lowest Hard hit ball % (just o.8 from the best) and are 14th in lowest LD% at 20.9%, yet the BAbip against blows others away at .323!!!

    The batter knew the pitch. Saw it over and over. Knew the location. Knew the speed. Still could not hit the damn pitch!
  4. moonslav59
    I get that, but it's 50-50 the first and second time. As I've suggested all along, next year, we should flip Whitlock and Houck's roles.
  5. moonslav59
    Rays cut the lead to 6-3.
  6. moonslav59
    As a 9 batter RP'er, his value would be immense!
  7. moonslav59
    Time for a solo blast or two.
  8. moonslav59
    I don't disagree, but why is 1 or 2 okay for RP'ers? Hell, Mo threw just one pitch- often with very little variation in location or speed.
  9. moonslav59
    True, but it seems like errors get under our pitchers' skin.
  10. moonslav59
    Just like that.
  11. moonslav59
    It does seem like the wheels often come off after an error.
  12. moonslav59
    Now, Renfroe's redeeming quality on defense is being shaken. (Yes, Devers could have done better, too.)
  13. moonslav59
    Jays up 5-1 on the Rays, now.
  14. moonslav59
    Iggy plays guitar! (He's rockin'!)
  15. moonslav59
    No love for Christian IL Arroyo?
  16. moonslav59
    Bobby Dee going with the pitch. What a change in approach we have seen.
  17. moonslav59
    True, but earlier in the year he stated he would not platoon him. I think it was after he hit a GW HR off a lefty.
  18. moonslav59
    He's been real reluctant to platoon Dugo.
  19. moonslav59
    So, Plawecki in a day after night game? Any known reason?
  20. moonslav59
    Plus, Iggy is popping it.

    No love for Kike in CF? (Maybe they extend him.) I do think Bloom will look into trading Bogey, but it can't be for prospects, unless he signs Correa or Story. Devers is not moving. He has shown he can play good D, so we'll have to work on why he isn't more consistent and focused. Dalbec and Casas will be our 1Bmen for the next few years. I have to wonder why Verdugo and Renfroe aren't flipped, now. They both have played the other corner enough to not be a major shock. We may trade one of them, especially if we keep Schwarber, but I won't be surprised to see the same OF again with Kike playing more CF, than 2021. As of today, Kike has played: 47% of CF innings 27% 2B 3% SS I'm hoping, in 2022, it's more like 80% CF 15% 2B Vaz may be the top candidate for trade and replacement of all our players, but I know many here like his D.
  22. moonslav59
    I think many of the biggest spenders will fill their SS needs, this winter, so Bogey's options may be limited. Teams that wanted to sign a big star SS but missed out may inquire about a trade for Bogey- hoping they can keep or extend him. I do think many GMs are aware of his defense. Some may not think he's as bad as I do or other GMs do. Some may think his offense far outweighs his defensive short-coming, as I do, and still want him. He is also a start player who may generate fan interest and increased viewership and attendance. The Sox have nobody in the system ready to play SS in 2023, unless you think Downs will improve. We'll need a SS as much or more than many teams and can afford to spend a lot more than many teams, so he may not be going anywhere.
  23. moonslav59
    EDT Just sayin'
  24. moonslav59
    He's been one of my targets, but not during this season. Bogey can play 2B or 3B and our offense does not get worse, depending on who plays SS.
  25. moonslav59
    Yes, very little can be done, right now without creating other weaknesses somewhere else. I doubt we make major changes, this winter, either, but we can take a few steps, this year, and when Bogey opts out (or before) try and replace him with a great glove without losing much offense, at all. Yes, that will cost money, but so will keeping Bogey. With Dalbec and casas at 1B, I doubt Devers changes position. The good thing is, he's still young enough to improve his D. He's younger than Dalbec and Duran.
